jaysmo : I'd love to find a tank with the same patina as the rest of it! Hope I can get to is soon, I have lots of ideas for it.
 
My first project, '39-'40 roadie. Need a few pieces yet to complete my 'vision' but it's not too bad of a start.

This is the first time that I have seen this another one of these frames other than mine. I saw one on here a while back, but the drop outs were different. Here is a pic of mine.

Oh... and holler at me if you manage to find a tank for this one. Gonna be scrounging the swap meets this winteraround the PHZ area to see what I can come up with for a drop stand, light and tank.

Those colors look really good but Imma be going in a different direction. gotta go start a thread in the 'build' area now....


:p :p :p :p :p :p
 
Heres my CWC after some resto work. Basically the entire bike was thoroughly scrubbed, polished, and the paint was clear coated. I recovered the original Troxel seat. The grips are new and the rubber is a set of vintage Carlisle Lightning Darts. It rides like a dream!

My wife's late 40's, early 50's??? Roadmaster. I picked this up from my buddy Marty @ 10~18 Kustoms. I added the white seat & white grips. This old girl rides like a dream!

That's an awful pretty bike. I'm a big fan of these things... the curved fender braces make all the difference in the world. It's amazing how nice these old machines ride.
